Don’t get us wrong; we love a good old-fashioned slap tjip, slathered in salt and vinegar, but every now and then we like to mix it up with other vegetable fries.

Good ‘ol slap tjips, but this time made with earthy, buttery sweet potatoes, lovingly hand cut into thick strips, and roasted in olive oil, cumin and coriander for a spicy twist. Don’t forego the spicy sriracha tartare sauce – it completes the package.
